José is a teenage pig living with his human family in a Spanish town. As the only trottered member of his family, José struggles to perform some of the simplest tasks carried out by the five-fingered hands of his parents and siblings, but it’s his place in society that provides López’s principal character with his biggest struggles. Reluctant to embrace his swine instincts, it takes an encounter with another of his kind before he can truly face up to the realities of his existence and even then things don’t work out quite how José would have hoped.
